Agent Game

After reading all the negative reviews, I decided that I wasn't going to even bother to watch this film but knowing the history of how reviewers will say a good film is horrible and a bad film great, I decided to download and watch anyway. And once again negative reviews have it got wrong about a good weekend popcorn film. A cliché shoot em up bang bang, with Mel Gibson as sinister minister and Jason Isaac and Dylan McDermott as fall guys. Definitely a good one time watch. Negative reviews calling this film terrible got it way wrong. This was good popcorn.

Terrible film when you consider what Mel has done.

Essentially Mel filmed 3 scenes and these got cut across the film in between people firing guns and chucking hand grenades around.

Some nice artistic shots but in the round a terrible film.

My best advice is don't waste your life on this one.

I was shocked at how bad this movie was. It was dark making it difficult to see what was going on at times. The acting and poor editing were just some of the things that made this movie awful. The action scenes were not well choreographed and besides, there was just two of them in the entire movie - one in the first 15 minutes and another in the last 15 minutes. The hour in between these action scenes was a drag, just stretched out dialougues. By the time you get to the end of the movie, you are already tired of the movie. To top it all off, the movie did not have an ending. The ending was literally a cliffhanger. Even if you are trying to set up a sequel, that is not how to do it.

If you like seeing an ending to your movie, then stay clear off this one. This felt like a very long first episode of a TV/Mini series, which needs a follow up episode to continue the storyline.

It started off great, then it fell into a very slow burn lull. If you can follow and get your head around the toing and froing of the various timelines, then the storyline might actually be interesting.

But with a non-ending, ending, and action too far and few in-between, for me it's a mediocre movie at best.

VERDICT: Watch only if nothing better is available.

I have never been so motivated to write a review to warn general audiences about how bad a movie was.

Horrible plot, writing, acting.

Worst I have seen in decades.
